Sims 4 Keeps Crashing 9/20/2024

My game keeps crashing. This has been happening since the last patch back in August. I do play with mods. However, I have played without them to make sure. When I did play vanilla, the game still crashed the same way it would if I had my mods in. I have repaired my game several times in the last month. Today, I completely uninstalled and reninstalled my game. A new clean folder and everything. I tested my game without mods. Crashed. I test my game with the newly updated mods because of yesterday's patch. Crashed. My game doesnt freeze when its about to crash. So, I dont get a warning at all. It just crashes. My isnt unplayable at all. There a few times it has lasted a few hours without crashing. But, the amount of crashing Ive been having is still crazy. Please help! The files are below...

-Thank You in advance!

    @eclectic_sims  That's great to hear.  Since you first posted, I've had a few other people with the sme type of crash as you say that removing ReShade or GShade fixed the problem.  That would make sense in your case too because these tools have DX9 and 11 versions that aren't compatible with the opposing version of Sims 4.  So if you use either one, please remove it and repair the game.

    If you're willing, and you have a corresponding lastcrash in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, I'd like to see it too, for resarch purposes.  (Please check the date to make sure it's from your DX11-related crashes.)  At last count there were something like 17 different players with this type of crash, and some of them haven't been able to solve it, or at least they haven't told me it was solved.

  • Hi everyone, I know this thread is MONTHS old but I thought I'd pop in. I've enabled DX 11 a week ago after taking a bit of a sims hiatus, and I haven't run into any crashing issues (if anything I'm crashing on DX9) so I believe that EA resolved this problem. I hope its working fine for everybody else!
